   Personification gives human characteristics, such as the ability of the fives senses, to non human things. 
   Example: The trees breathed in the spring air.
   
   A metaphor compares two unlike things together without using like or as.
   Example: The tree is an old man.

   personification is when you give an inaminate object a personally, as if you were saying "I am a rock, i sit here along day long watching the world go bye"
   
   a metaphor is like a hidden meaning with in a statement or text, meaning one thing but saying another
